The motion picture of a life time

Rating: 10/10 (27 October 2005)

Hi, everyone! Just after seeing this motion picture in the theaters, I knew I have experienced the most deep and sensorial movie I've ever seen. From the wide, panoramic scenes that opens the movie, magically coupled with the deepest background music imaginable for a human theme, to the outstanding ending sequence, THE ISLAND is a more-than-rare experience, it's in fact unique. Right from the start, we are introduced to a major starting argument, very touching, very poetic, very deep and very human. People living inside a utopic or not (depending on the point of view) society, without free will or individual condition. And there is this guy, Lincoln 6 Echo, superbly played by Ewan McGregor. Coupled with Johansson's character, they deliver magnificent acting. In much less time that it could be possibly imaginable, we find ourselves involved by this two wonderful characters, by their friendship, child-like (very sweet, very pure) way of going through things, by their dramas. And just before we realize, we find ourselves in a rare situation in a movie: we care about the main characters. Yes, we care. That's the term. We want them to win, to free themselves, to find their way. That's something, my friends, very few movies offer. So, we got amazing, superb, major acting from all main characters, a very strong science fiction theme with a incredibly touching human condition, a theme music that fits so perfect to the movie that will breathe eternity to every single shot, ground-breaking special effects, the strongest storyline I've ever seen, and Michael Bay taking his place side by side to the greatest filmmakers of all times like Spielberg and Cameron. So, after seeing 8 times just in theaters, I could easily say it's the greatest motion picture I've ever seen. No other film has touched me this deep, no other film looked so poetic, human, or strong as THE ISLAND. Thanks Michael Bay, Scarlett Johansson and Ewan McGregor, I just wanted right know to thanks you all for delivering the motion picture of a life time. Thanks a lot, really.
